Yes to CAA? Call toll-free number, asks BJP

January 03, 2020 11:12

The BJP announces a toll-free number -- 8866288662 -- where citizens can give missed calls to register their endorsement of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

This ties in with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's outreach to educate citizens on CAA. In the last few days of 2019 launched an outreach programme to gather support for the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which has triggered protests across the country.

CAA "is about giving citizenship to persecuted refugees and not about taking anyones citizenship away", PM Modi's official website tweeted.

Modi also posted a video of the spiritual leader, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on the subject urging people to listen to the "lucid explanation of aspects relating to CAA".
